I drove like a block this morning, with out one spark plug wire in, the car was driving, & felt like it was blown, also sounded like it. When I poped the hood I saw it was a sparkplug wire not plugged. If I drove only 2 blocks with the car like this can this damage my motor? It ran fine after
pluging it

I have a 1995 prelude with a jdm h22a in it

 

Two blocks? I doubt it. Hell, my friend drove her VW for a month minus one plug wire and her motor was still fine (she thought it was supposed to run like crap )

 

i dont think so, maybe the unburned fuel in that cylinder won't play nice with your cat but as far as engine damage, it was very short distance so i don't think so.

 

fwiw a spark plug wire popping out at high rpm is what caused my ignition coil and ICM to burn out twice.

haha-ha
check them all and make sure they're in properly;
drive & check them again

 

Yeah your ignition pumps up the voltage to that cylinder to try to make it fire, and burns itself up.
